Last question for the night

[Guest guest]

In regards to the lady having carpal tunnel surgery, twice

throughout this report the doctor has made reference to the s/l

*tenelle sign. Does this ring a bell in anyone mind, or books?

On 4-26-00 she followed up with Dr. Lamoreaux for both shoulder and

carpal tunnel issues. She had positive TENELLE sign on the left and

also a significant bulge was found including palpation of the left

wrist. There is no evidence of thenar atrophy and no tenderness

distally into the carpal tunnel release.

On 7-5-00 she was evaluated by M.D. of Seattle hand surgery group.

On examination a bulge of about 1 cm was present over the left

wrist, tender to touch, the wrist crease in the area of the surgical

incision with marked TENELLES sign over that and also over the

radial side of the proximal phalanx, ring finger, and decreased

sensation to light touch over the radial side of the thumb.

After this I am going to bed, so I promise no more questions for

tonight at least!
